The Bored is taking $100 back to 1940

The Bored wants to edutain you with the value of money.
$100 in 2012 would be the same as $1639 in 1940, according to this amazing workable inflation calculator.

Minimum wage was 30 cents an hour, with an average annual salary of $1,900.

A house cost $6,550 and a car cost $800.

A gallon of gas was 18 cents, and milk was almost double that, at 34 cents per gallon.  

$12.50 would buy this much groceries. 

And the rest is history...
